Developing a Professional Goaltender’s Beliefs
- Identify whether each of your current beliefs empowers you to take action or stops you from pursuing your goaltending goals.
- Beliefs don't need to be objectively true to be powerful — their impact on your behavior is what matters most.
- Build an active list of empowering beliefs and deliberately work to eliminate disempowering ones from your mindset.
- Pete Fry's Goalie Mindset Power program draws on 30 years of research into the habits and traits of winning goaltenders at all levels.
- Mental skills development is a structured, trainable discipline — not a passive trait — according to Fry, who works with goalies from minor hockey to the professional ranks.

What is a belief? What is the definition of a belief? A belief is an acceptance that something is true. A feeling of certainty about what something means. It doesn’t matter if a belief is correct or incorrect. What does matter is, does the belief empower you or does it disempower you? Does that belief encourage you to take action towards your dreams or does that belief stop you from taking action towards your dreams. You want to have a whole list of empowering beliefs, and you want to get rid of the disempowering beliefs.
